Personally, I don't think we can point the finger of blame anywhere. EVERYONE is responsible. The "geeks" are responsible because they want to "fight the system" and make an honest effort into being as different as possible rather than being themselves. You can still be a geek and not force yourself into a morbid lifestyle. I'm an example right here. The Geek's parents are responsible. They should keep tabs on their kids - taking away TV or their computers is NOT the answer, you insipid fools! Human beings need something called TLC - in other words - LOVE YOUR KIDS! Show them that! Support them at all times! God knows how many suicides/depression incidents could be solved so simply. Don't think I'm forgetting the JOCKS and other "cool kids." Why the HELL do they find fun in tormenting others, and where do they get this behavior? Simple - it's transmitted by other kids who have IMMATURE, BIGOT PARENTS that teach their kids to HATE. Why don't the parents know what their kids do at school? THEY DON'T CARE, that's why! Our society is largely xenophobic, and that is a result of miseducation and neglect on a grand scale.
Sorry for the rant, it's just all this nonsense about blaming the gaming industry is making me absolutely SICK. Video games may surely be a minimal factor, but are far from the "menace" that the media is making them out to be. I have played violent video games, I've watched "faces of Death" and I am one of the least violent, most easygoing people you will ever meet. Just goes to show what an inconsistent, misinformed country we're living in...
